research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research Common genetic hair shaft abnormalities may be visualized by light and electron microscope
Genetic hair shaft abnormalities can be seen with microscopes and often affect scalp hair.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research Electrophoretic variation of hair proteins.
